    Finding that where the indictment notified defendant of the date of the offense, the type of offense, and the basis for the offense, and defendant was convicted of the same offense listed in the indictment, indictment charging defendant with possession of nonexistent compound with a name similar to actual controlled substance was not a fatal variance

"The best evidence which exists of a writing sought to be proved shall be produced, unless its absence shall be satisfactorily accounted for."

    In Joiner, supra, a majority of this Court held that slight evidence of venue may exist when a law enforcement officer testifies regarding which county he works for.

    This rule has been followed on numerous occasions. See Hamilton v. State, 228 Ga. App. 285 ( 491 S.E.2d 485) (1997); Sawyer v. State, 217 Ga. App. 406, 409 (2) ( 457 S.E.2d 685) (1995); In the Interest of T.S., 211 Ga. App. 46, 47 (2) ( 438 S.E.2d 159) (1993); Shannon v. State, 205 Ga. App. 831, 834 (6) ( 424 S.E.2d 51) (1992); Beard v.

The Court implicitly addressed the issue in In the Interest of T. S., 211 Ga. App. 46 (1) ( 438 S.E.2d 159) (1993). In the instant case, there is no indication that on the date of the adjudicatory hearing the court addressed the issue of T. D. W.'s representation.
